Kharkov
22 February 1920

It is necessary immediately to establish translators in all staffs and military institutions, obliging absolutely everyone to accept statements and documents in the Ukrainian language.

I hear you well if you speak distinctly, and therefore answer me by telephone on both of my telegrams.
